4 years ago Moyes (who is losing buckets of money as all previous and future owners of this franchise will) goes to the CoG with hat in hand to ask the CoG for help in making ends meet and asks for IIRC ~$8-10M /yr. He is told by the CoG to go away and that they will never give a handout to the owner of the Coyotes. We all know what came next..... So 4 years later, the same CoG now votes to give an unknown entity ~$15M/yr.

If the CoG had just given Moyes what he wanted 4 years ago, there is a very good chance nothing that has gone on over the last 4 years would have ever happened.
